BRICK Workshop 28, Brymbo

We would like to invite you to our next workshop in Brymbo, North Wales on 29 June 2017. This exciting day will focus on topics relating to governance, procurement and project management, all essential to the proper planning for reusing heritage sites. The day will also feature presentations on a range of heritage regeneration projects, all at different stages of their project journey.

The event will take place at the Brymbo Enterprise Centre next to Brymbo Iron and Steelworks, where a project is underway to develop the former iron and steelworks and accompanying 300 million year old fossilised forest area into a visitor attraction, learning centre and business hub. There will be an opportunity to tour this fascinating site on the day and learn about Brymbo’s rich heritage.

The workshop will include a range of presentations by national experts:

Richard Bellamy, Head of Heritage Lottery Fund Wales, who will talk about becoming fit for funding

DCA Consultants will discuss the pleasures and pitfalls of procurement

The Prince’s Regeneration Trust’s Laura Norris, who will deliver a beginner’s guide to governance

Jeremy Stone, Associate Director of Greenwoods, will share their invaluable advice on how to get the best out of your project manager

Representatives of the Cadwgan Building Preservation Trust will talk about the award-winning project to restore Cardigan Castle and turn it into a thriving visitor attraction.

We also ensure that there is plenty of time for you to meet each other, discuss your projects and specific regeneration topics during our group sessions.

Travel bursaries are available for representatives of community groups (max £25 per person, two per organisation). Please apply by emailing us at brickworkshops@princes-regeneration.org.
